Mini dsp with multiple subs

[rev]

Good Evening,
Just wondering if any one has experience with mini dap and multiple subs to get a smooth bass response for stereo listening?
If do any info about your experiences would be great.

Thanks Iain.

I use a Mini DSP plate amp to power 2 x 12" subs.

Works great with full control from my laptop via ethernet.

Though to be honest my Quad ESL's go down to around 30/35 Hz. so the subs only kick in with synth bass.

I have experimented with this. It works. This is well worth a read…

Or for some simpler options…

Thanks Guys,
Have you measured the room to enable the eq and time alignment?
If so is easy?
Thanks Again

If you haven't come across it already, there's a useful article on multiple subs here: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audiokinesis-swarm-subwoofer-system

It doesn't cover dsp, but argues that well-placed multiple subs are the way forward, with or without dsp.

Start with one, get that properly integrated, measure, correct any bass peaks it will sound good I guarantee and then go from there if you think it worthwhile.

That’s good to hear!
Am going to start with mini dap 2-4.
The only thing is is that I have stereo out puts on the amp and subs is that compatible with the dap?
Thanks

That should not be a problem. You can combine the left and right channels inside the miniDSP.

Then just use one of the left / right inputs. On the sub?

Yes, exactly.

Great !
Are the any professional people who calibrate peoples systems in this way for a living?

I do as it happens.

Ah that’s good your about 200 miles from me .
Is it something than can be done over zoom?
Excuse my ignorance I’m not particularly techy.
Also will it give not necessarily deep bass but tight clear bass?

It can certainly be done remotely. I normally use some remote control software and a telephone, but Zoom, FaceTime, Skype etc could replace the telephone in this mix.

You can use multiple subwoofers to produce louder, deeper or more even bass, or any combination of those qualities.

Have a look at MSO
